PHOTOS AS USUAL

Ad astra per aspera

by In Wales (inwales aaat eurotrib.com) on Fri Oct 12th, 2007 at 04:52:45 AM EST

Rhyl Miniature Railway, Grand opening.
I love the juxtaposition of this beautiful old train, the period costume of the train drivers and then today's lot with their cameras and track suits and bling in the background.

Rhyl Miniature Railway again.

I just realised I should have cropped out the 21st century rubbish behind the boy. I don't think yellow plastic was widely used in the 1800's.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (4.00 / 4)

On Tuesday we cut down the "old oak tree" which had died.

We then cut down a huge pine tree which we were afraid could fall on our house. That saddened me. It was like losing an old friend. It took 40 years to grow and 40 minutes to cut down.

I used to get upset enough at the annual pruning of trees, it's awful to see a tree have to go down.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (4.00 / 6)

I'm trying to get a decent black and white photo with Paint Shop Pro.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (none / 1)

It's a bit contrasty but I actually think it works quite well here. I like it.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (none / 1)

Thanks. I find it very difficult to get a good black and white photo with a digital camera. I have to work on it.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (none / 1)

Same here. I'm not used to looking at my surroundings for B&W. I don't really know how to translate the colour and tones into what makes a good B&W photo.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (none / 1)

What do you think makes a good black and white photo?

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (none / 1)

It's hard to say. You need good enough contrast and the right 'look' to make it work. Something that works well in colour doesn't necessarily translate to B&W. You can look at a monotone photo and know that it works or it doesn't. But it is hard to see for it when you are taking the photo.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (4.00 / 2)

I've noticed that when I work with b&w film a lot, I start to "see" a bit differently than when I work with color. It's like I automatically look for b&w images. But I lose it again if I do stuff in color or not photograph for a while.

Chamonix, this summer. Kodak T-max film.

Paris Metro, last December. Digital converted to b&w.

Same as above.

Re: PHOTOS AS USUAL (4.00 / 4)

This one has the "old feel" black and white of 'old Paris' with a touch of color added.
